About this place Gemma

Gemma is a New American restaurant at 2323 N Henderson Ave in the Knox-Henderson area of Dallas. It is a mainstream, gay-friendly restaurant, not a gay venue. Reviewers praise the grilled octopus and sweetbreads and the attentive, professional service. It rates 4.7 on Google from about 800 reviews. The dining room is small and fills up, and the patio is basically a terrace on the parking lot, so book an indoor table if that matters. Some diners find the cooking heavy on butter. Prices are mid range for the neighbourhood. Oak Lawn's gay bars are a short drive west.

They have a fun twist on food. The crab cake was deliciousssss. Pasta’s were a highly recommended item on the menu. The duck was cooked perfectly and french fries were amazing.

My husband and I love this place! We live in nyc and frequently travel to Dallas and are always on a look out for restaurants that rival the NYC food scene. Gemma is definitely up there ..the ambience to the service and the quality of the ingredients.

Mediocre food. There are better restaurants for the price. Service is really nice though.

My wife and I had an outstanding dinner at Gemma on Saturday evening. From the moment we arrived, the experience was exceptional. The service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming—our server was knowledgeable, made great recommendations, and struck the perfect balance between being attentive and allowing us to enjoy our meal. The menu is filled with creative, thoughtfully crafted dishes, and it was honestly difficult to decide because everything sounded so appealing. We started by sharing the Caviar Mini Tots, and they were fantastic. It was such a creative appetizer—the tots were perfectly crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside, while the caviar added just the right amount of richness and flavor without overpowering the dish. A unique combination that worked beautifully. For our entrées, we shared the Filet au Poivre and the Halibut, which is a new addition to the menu. Both were exceptional. The filet was cooked exactly as ordered, tender and full of flavor, with a beautifully balanced peppercorn sauce. The halibut was prepared to perfection—flaky, moist, and delicately seasoned. The combination of butternut purée, chana chole, pickled pearl onions, and cilantro chutney created a beautifully balanced dish with layers of flavor, texture, and freshness. Each component complemented the halibut while allowing the quality of the fish to remain the star of the plate. Gemma continues to deliver one of the best dining experiences in the area. Exceptional service, imaginative cuisine, flawless execution, and an atmosphere that's both elegant and comfortable. We can't wait to return.
